Grand View Land and Irrigation Project Prospects in Idaho
A correspondent describes a tour of the Grand View Land and Irrigation Company tract along the Snake River in southern Idaho. He notes ample water from a Brunean river reservoir, a deep fertile soil, and a frost-free canyon climate favorable to fruit growing with plans to plant hundreds of acres of winter apples and five acre plots for sale. He compares Idaho’s irrigation and mining growth to Iowa, records temperatures around 106 in the shade, and mentions travel through Boise Nampa and other towns with references to local people and contacts.
